The greatest Monster movie of the year with the lowest budget

Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon reentry over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear and half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain “the creatures” ... Our story begins when a U.S. journalist agrees to escort a shaken American tourist through the infected zone to the safety of the U.S. border.

Gareth Edwars made this movie with just 800.000 dollars. Of course, he had computers and VFX programs, but he actually shoot a movie with no more than one camera man, one guy recording the sound and two friends as his main characters. There were no locations chosen before the shooting started. They were just travelling around and once they spotted a nice place to shoot in they would jumped out of the van they were driving and started shooting.
